This is a couple days old, but since it looks like no one else submitted it already, I thought someone might find it interesting/funny.
And, as if this wasn't already a bad day for Sony, there is now apparently a 100% fool proof way of loading Region 1 DVDs even seemingly after the new batch of drivers have been loaded....

Load the DVD into the Playstation2 at the browser screen, select the CD icon then press and hold square and then circle until the playstations DVD menu appears, holding both buttons all the time.

Then there are two ways to play the movie, you can either select the play icon () or the movie start icon which is in middle to the far left. If one doesn't work the other one will.
